THIS IS HOW WE WIN
and keep winning
People love to make “winning” a super complex set of routines, activities and mindsets... but truly it is much simpler than that.
BOOKMARK THIS!
The winning formula consists of 4 pillars:
Be impeccable with your word
Don’t take anything personally
Don’t make assumptions
Always try your best
They look simple at first glance and that is because they are. There is no secret recipe. What you put in is what you will get out.
After implementing and truly understanding these four simple concepts, my life has positively increased exponentially.
This is how i win in life:
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Definition of Impeccability: Derived from Latin, it means “without sin” (pecatus). Therefore, being impeccable means not sinning against yourself by using words for self-criticism or blame.
Your words carry power. So do not use them in a way that harms yourself or others.
Being impeccable with your word quite simply means using your words to build rather than destroy.
Speak to yourself with kindness.
Speak to others with kindness.
Words have creative power, use them to shape your reality.
Speak with integrity and truth
Do not gossip about others
Make sure your internal dialogue is conducive for growth
Do not speak with malice or hatred
Speak to yourself and others in kindness
Train that little voice in your head to operate in your favour. You are capable of anything as long as you believe you are.
DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Do not get caught up in the highs or the lows. This pillar teaches that others’ actions and words are projections of their own reality, not reflections of you.
The “Let them” theory goes hand in hand here.
You cannot control what others say, do or feel.
The only thing you can control is how you react to these external stimuli.
Accept what is out of your control.
Change the things that are in your control.
Realize the difference between the two.
Once you stop taking things personally, whether that is praise or criticism:
you become immune to opinions.
you save yourself from others emotional baggage.
you avoid frustration, anger, and sadness.
you realise where your true value comes: within.
you stop living for others and start living for yourself.
This fundamental shift in mindset gives you your power back. Stop giving it away to everyone else so freely.
DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Why we make assumptions: Our brains seek efficiency, and we tend to assume others think, feel, and judge just as we do, which often creates a false sense of security or comfort.
Assumptions are never set in truth but rather in our brains default thought pattern. Which means these assumptions are exaggerated over dramatisations of reality. They do you no good.
Stop making assumptions
Start asking questions
Ensure clear communications
Seek truth
Gather information
Make informed decisions
Don’t let your mind play tricks on you
If we don’t make assumptions, we can focus our attention on the truth, not on what we think is the truth.
ALWAYS TRY YOUR BEST
Simply keep showing up. Be consistent and you will already have 85% of the competition beat.
Realise that your best will not be the same each and everyday. It differs from situation to situation.
“Your best” is all that you can give, nothing more.
This relates to the first 3 pillars, as an action step that encompasses them all.
Simply do your best everyday and you will win.
Doing your best does not mean burning yourself out or overexerting.
Most people think overworking is there best - it isn’t.
If you can show up for yourself and others everyday doing your best, your “best” will gradually get better and better.
Constant improvement leads to higher confidence.
Higher confidence leads to better ability in executing within these 4 pillars.
Better execution in these 4 pillars means more winning.
More winning leads to a better life.
A better life leads to you being able to help others.
Helping others means shared success and growth.
Shared success and growth leads to a better tomorrow.
Be the rising tide that lifts all boats.
Always try your best.
Let's be honest here. Always try your best is very mediocre advice. The problem often is total confusion be it online business or becoming an expert in a niche. People are often confused and I was too. Only recently realised wtf I should be focusing on. Research like crazy was and is my strategy. Try things. When it clicks. It clicks.
Do your best doesn't cut it if you quit.
So be obsessed. Never quit.
Decide that game over is not going to be a decision made by you.
